Two relevant frameworks have been introduced in this respect, namely the illness identity (e.g. Oris et al.) and the experience of embodiment framework (e.g. Piran). Guided by these theoretical perspectives, this qualitative study explores identity and bodily experiences of emerging adults living with T1D.Methods: A total of 149 participants wrote a narrative about what it means to them to have T1D and how it may have affected their sense of self and bodily experiences. Data were analysed using template analysis.Results: Analysis generated two main themes regarding identity: illness identity and feeling different. Five main themes emerged regarding bodily experiences: body connection, body discomfort, restricted agency and functionality, attuned diabetes care, and body objectification. In addition, social support, benefit finding, openness to others, perceived stigma, and visibility of diabetes emerged as significant related themes.Conclusion: This study highlights the specific challenges that emerging adults with T1D may face in harmonising their identity and bodily experiences with their diabetes. Clinicians should recognise these challenges in providing holistic care.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-28"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144009629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moderator analyses indicated that relations between perceived consequences and social/role functioning were larger, and between emotional representations and illness status smaller, in patients diagnosed with a pain condition relative to those without a diagnosis. MASEM indicated unique effects of perceived control and consequences beliefs on physical impairment, causal beliefs on psychological impairment, identity beliefs on disease status, and treatment beliefs on social/role functioning.Conclusions: Findings identify belief-based correlates of pain-related outcomes and provide formative evidence to guide pain management intervention strategies.

Stage 2 administered an online survey (developed from Stage 1 findings) to a larger sample to quantify the relative importance of these motivators and barriers. Results from both stages indicated enjoyment, positive emotions, and reward as key motivators for both behaviours across all five countries. Barriers included habit-breaking difficulties, temptation and negative affective states. Those with a high BMI placed more importance on social pressure than those with healthy BMI. Participants' reports of motivators and barriers reflected relevant approaches from consumer science, behavioural economics, and psychology. Interventions supporting adults who are not chronically ill but would benefit from improved diet and/or physical activity should not focus exclusively on health as a motivating factor.

The current study's longitudinal serial mediation model examined whether work-to-family conflict predicted greater pain interference through higher levels of family strain and loneliness among midlife adults with chronic pain.Methods and measures: The study consisted of 303 participants from two waves of the national longitudinal study of Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) at wave II from 2004 to 2006 (Mage = 57, SD = 11) and wave 3 from 2013 to 2014 (Mage = 66, SD = 11).

Participants with greater work-to-family conflict perceived more family strain, felt lonelier, and, in turn, reported experiencing higher interference from chronic pain.Conclusion: Results suggest that unmanaged work-to-family conflict could be a risk factor that exacerbates chronic pain symptoms through worsening family relationships and loneliness among midlife adults with chronic pain.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"697-713"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41164266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This UK study explored the views of adults with CF on how treatment adherence (related to all CF treatments) is discussed in routine CF care.Methods: 12 White British adults (ten females; aged 20-37 years; mean 30.1 years) with CF participated in semi-structured interviews.Results: Three overarching themes were developed through reflexive thematic analysis: (1) 'The power of language'; (2) 'Healthcare professionals do not recognise the importance of context'; and (3) '\"Admitting\" non-adherence is difficult'. The way in which adherence is discussed in adult CF care is viewed as paternalistic and infantilising. Participants reported that healthcare professionals do not always consider the desire to balance treatment-taking with living a normal life. Unwelcome responses from healthcare professionals, and the inability to accurately self-report the amount of treatment taken made it difficult to 'admit' non-adherence.Conclusions: A culture change is needed in CF care such that people who struggle to take their treatments are not labelled as disobedient, wilfully disobeying orders from healthcare professionals in positions of authority. Instead, an open, honest, non-judgemental approach, as recommended by healthcare agencies for over a decade, should be adopted.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"742-764"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10145516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used hierarchical regression to examine significant predictors of health.Results: Adolescents' SOC was stable during the analyzed two-year period (128.84 ± 22.17; 129.24 ± 23.06). A strong significant positive correlation was found between SOC and mental health (r = 0.635, p<.001; r = 0.670, p<.001). A significant difference was found between adolescents with a low SOC and those with a high SOC in physical functioning (p<.018), general health (p<.001), vitality (p<.001), social functioning (p<.001), emotional role functioning (p<.013) and mental health (p<.001). Boys had higher SOC and most of the health dimensions.
